This study was part of a project promoted with the caption 'Vulnerable, pregnant and new in Norway - Safe during childbirth with a multicultural doula.' The project aimed to provide multicultural doulas who could strengthen maternity care and give migrant women safe births. The aim of the study was to examine how the multicultural doulas experienced their work with newly arrived migrant women during pregnancy and childbirth.
A qualitative approach was used for the data collection and the data was collected from nine in-depth interviews with multicultural doulas. All the participants were educated by Oslo University Hospital, Norway, where they worked as doulas. The method of data analysis was inspired by Granheim and Lundman's qualitative content analysis.
The qualitative content analysis revealed four categories: providing important knowledge, creating continuity of care for migrant women, being aware of migrant women's vulnerability, and building a cultural bridge. One main theme emerged: Feeling like a mother for vulnerable migrant women and a person who builds a cultural bridge between them and maternity care in Norway.
The multicultural doulas saw themselves as a resource for both newly-arrived migrant women and midwives during pregnancy and childbirth. The findings suggested that their presence can strengthen maternity care for migrant women by providing information, continuity, and a cultural bridge between migrant women and maternity care in Norway.
本研究是题为“在挪威，弱势、怀孕和初来乍到的人——有多元文化导乐陪伴，分娩安全”项目的一部分。该项目旨在提供多元文化导乐，以加强产妇护理，并为移民妇女提供安全的分娩。本研究旨在探讨多元文化导乐在孕妇和分娩期间如何体验她们与新移民妇女的工作。
采用定性方法收集数据，对 9 名多元文化导乐进行了深入访谈。所有参与者均在挪威奥斯陆大学医院接受教育，并在那里担任导乐。数据分析方法受到 Granheim 和 Lundman 的定性内容分析的启发。
定性内容分析揭示了四个类别：提供重要知识、为移民妇女提供护理连续性、意识到移民妇女的脆弱性以及架起文化桥梁。出现了一个主要主题：对弱势移民妇女来说，感觉自己像母亲一样，是她们与挪威产妇护理之间架起文化桥梁的人。
多元文化导乐在孕妇和分娩期间将自己视为新移民妇女和助产士的资源。研究结果表明，她们的存在可以通过提供信息、连续性以及移民妇女与挪威产妇护理之间的文化桥梁，为移民妇女的产妇护理提供支持。
